Software requirements

The latest release of XRS-capable receiver control software. WiNRADiO latest application software can be downloaded here.

Hardware requirements

An XRS-capable receiver, such as WiNRADiO receiver models G3x3, G3x5, and GxxDDC.
    PC requirements vary depending on the type of XRS plug-in used.

Installing XRS Plug-ins

  Download the plug-in to a temporary folder.

  If your receiver software is running, shut it down.

  Unzip the plug-in and run the EXE file. This will install the plug-in into the plug-in folder.

Using XRS Plug-ins

  Run your receiver software.

  If this is your first XRS installation, a new "Plug-ins" menu will appear in the top bar menu of the receiver panel.

  Click on "Plug-ins" in the top bar menu and select a particular XRS plug-in from the drop-down menu. You can run more than one plug-in at the same time. In fact, the XRS plug-ins can even talk to each other!

Troubleshooting

Problem 1: The downloaded file cannot be unzipped. Instead, messages such as "Corrupt ZIP file" or "Unknown format" are displayed.

Solution: The downloaded file was probably cut short due to a server time-out because of Internet traffic congestion. Try to download the file again. Compare the length of the file which is on the server to that actually received.

Problem 2: The files have been downloaded OK, but the software does not recognize the plug-ins.

Solution: After downloading the plug-ins, you need to unzip them. Most downloaded ZIP files will contain only one EXE file. Run this EXE file, and the plug-in will be automatically installed into the correct folder (for WiNRADiO products, this will be C:/Program Files/WiNRADiO/Plugins). ZIP files which do not contain installation EXE files may contain ".XRS" files directly. In such cases, simply copy the entire contents of the ZIP file to the Plugins folder.

Problem 3: The downloaded files have been successfully installed into the Plugins directory, but the receiver software still does not recognize them. Messages such as "Missing variable" may occur.

Solution: You need to download the newest XRS-compliant software for your receiver. WiNRADiO application software can be downloaded from the WiNRADiO Download Site.
